Only plays half of the song???

I purchased a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony some months ago, and was listening to the 4th movement today, when, about 14 minutes into it, it stopped playing. I tried playing it again, and again at the same point (just about 14:11) it stopped. I updated iTunes, restarted the computer, and still it stops playing at the same spot. The other three movements of the Symphony are fine and play all the way through. Anyone know what's going on here?

Be sure you have done this to Reset the shuffle, since you noticed this problem.

If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle, which is done by select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and going to the Summary tab. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. Maybe the shuffle had some type of data corruption in its storage. Erasing it (with a Restore) should resolve that type of problem, and give it a fresh start.

Playlists disappeared and newly synced music only plays half through the song then goes silent

happened yesterday and the "connect" option started appearing too. reloaded the app...no fix. any ideas, has this happened to anyone else? i am properly logged in with my premium account and i was not a member prior to 2011.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

IPod only gets half of the songs from new albums...

I have an iPod classic, purchased in 2008. I am running into an issue where when I add new albums to iTunes (not from the iTunes store or from an actual CD), only about half of the songs will make it on to the iPod when I sync. The songs all show up and work on iTunes, and my iPod is set up to add the entire library, but some of the songs just don't make it on there. The iPod isn't anywhere near capacity. I've tried adding them to specific playlists and although they show up fine on iTunes, they are just completely missing from the playlist on the actual iPod. Everything is up to date, software wise, so I'm hoping someone can offer some guidance. Thank you!

Error correction may be the problem; it was for me. See if it is checked and if it is uncheck it. You will find it under File>Preferences>Advanced>Importing. I hope this solves your problem.

HT1725 My purchases are only playing halfway through the song then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully". Does this mean an incomplete download? How do I rectify this? Please help

ITunes only play half of a song

Hey, i just bought songs from iTunes and one of the songs is only played half way through and then iTunes skips to the next song. How can i fix that? thanks

1. Delete the song from your iTunes library
2. Redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links
(Quick Links is on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes)
3. Check and play song- it should play in its entirety now. If not contact support.

I just downloaded 15 songs, almost half will only play parts of the songs. Some only will play 2 seconds!! How do I fix this? Apple doesn't exactly have a customer service number and I've already paid for my purchases. This has never happened before.

I just downloaded 15 songs to my ipod and only about half will fully play. The others only play a minute or two with some only playing for seconds. I have never had this happen before. There isn't exactly a customer service number for apple so I'm not sure what to do. I'm pretty irritated sonce I've paid for all of them. Please help!!!

I would delete them from your library and then redownload them from the iTunes Store.

Several of my purchased itunes songs, only first half of the song is there?

I have just updated to ios 5.0 on my phone and itunes10 on my pc. I bought about 30 songs in the last week and have found 3 that are just the first 30 seconds of the song, then it is just blank. I have not played then all yet so I don't know if there are more. How do I download these again or get the whole song to play?

Try contacting support and request for a fresh copy.

TS1424 I purchased an album and it only plays half of the first few songs but the full version of others, can I get that fixed?

It was the Dashboard Confessional album "A mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar."

If the tracks that do not play fully also fail to sync with your portable devices, then you probably had an error in downloading these tracks. To solve this problem:
1. Delete the problem tracks from your library and hard disk.
2. Go to the Home screen of the iTunes Store.
3. Click "Purchased" under "Quick Links."
4. Click the "Not on This Computer" button.
5. Find your album with the missing tracks and download again.
Hope this helps.

QuickTime only plays half of the video, imports the same way into Premiere

It's updated to 7.7.5 - I don't know what to do to get it top see the full image...?

Thanks for the screenshot.
Hmm. I don't recall any other reports of a problem like this with MTS files. [Just today I was working on a similar issue with P2 content, but it was limited to spanned clips. Hence that question...]
First thing I'd try is to clear the media cache files, at least for the affected clips. You should find those files here: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\. If not there, then check Preferences>Media.
